Cod, flesh only, microwaved

Cod is a white fish. These figures describe the flesh only, cooked by microwaving, using samples of frozen and chilled products. It mainly provides protein, with little fat or carbohydrate. Per 100g, it contains 24g of protein, 0.4g of fat, 2.2µg of vitamin B12 and 243µg of iodine.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Vitamin B12 helps maintain normal nerve function and red blood cell formation, while iodine is needed to make thyroid hormones. The figures refer to the fish flesh alone; added salt, sauces or other ingredients can change the nutritional content of a meal. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
